My babygirl & her “No quiero ser monolingüe” sign is on the left of this @adn.com photo from today’s rally outside the #akleg State legislator town hall. Dual immersion programs, which Anchorage has a robust selection of, are on the chopping block if we don’t #RaiseTheBSA, along w/ so many things.
I love that Anchorage showed out for a national protest!
The kids & I didn’t make it to that one, but we rallied for state-level education funding outside the #akleg town hall w/ hundreds of families & teachers. #WearRedForEd #RaiseTheBSA (w/ @iamtashafierce.bsky.social @cnmak.bsky.social)
Alaska teachers! A testimony time finally not in the middle of the work day. #hb69 #akleg #education #alaska #raisethebsa
The Governor' bill - SB 82 - fails to help kids in places like Sleetmute.
"Sleetmute’s school is also full of black mold that covers the buckling wall in the wood shop, a gear closet in the gym and a huge section of drywall in the ceiling just above the door to the kitchen."

"But parents are voting with their feet!"
...is something I hear.
So let's unpack this.
According to Leg Finance, last year 3,777 students left Alaska's brick & mortar schools with only a 978 increase in Alaska's correspondence schools.
Parents are leaving...Alaska. #RaisetheBSA

It may be a small thing, but I so appreciate #akleg policymakers & legislative staff who go out of their way to engage w/ constituents (& folks in other districts!) who testify or write OpEds, etc. I think it helps encourage ongoing engagement & community organizing. #RaiseTheBSA #FundEducation
It was a joy to meet students and teachers around the state for the Association of Alaska School Boards fly-in. We're thinking about their powerful testimonies as we strive to #RaiseTheBSA with HB 69 #akleg
